Apple Photo non-stop for the last 3 hours I have no issue with Photo app before upgrading to Catalina. But now (Catalina is installed completed), the photos app when launched, will begin to "gathering favorites / curating best photos / analysing scenes / composing layout" and it repeats these 4 tasks over and over and over again for hours. The status bar is somewhere at 85% I want to know if it is actually working on something and is there a way I know how long more it will take. Details : iMac 21.5: late 2013 MacOS Catalina 10.15

Unable to export photos from Photos App, continues to crash or have to force quit application I am having a problem with exporting photos from the Photos App so that I can clean the MacBook and sell it. However, I was only able to export some of the photos that are in the app, and something is causing the Photos App to crash whenever I try to export the photos that are left. It does not show what the problem is but I have reported every single time I had to force close or the app crashing to Apple. I do not know what to do and I have messed up with exporting the previous library so I am trying to redo with some old photos. I do not know how to flag the constant problem and new update is not making it easy at all....

This process may take some time. Photos is curating and scanning for face recognition.

Put Photos in the background and allow the machine to do its thing overnight. Depending on the number of photos you have in your library it could easily take several hours.
